A Whisper

I'm gone Just a whisper I see you But you can't see me I hear you But no matter how I yell, you can't hear me My tears run red I know now, I'm dead You said my name today I whispered 'yes?' in your ear Finally, you hear I feel your hand in mine Warmth overcoming the cold of death The world comes rushing back I see your face I see your eyes I cry, because I know I'm alive My tears no longer run red I'm in this word No longer a whisper No longer dead
